Asin Thottumkal has taken a few days off from the shooting schedule of Khiladi 786, her second film with action star Akshay Kumar. No, she isn’t unwell – the reason she gave for not showing up for the Bol Bachchan premiere – but soaking up the sun on a foreign shore. The South Indian beauty thinks she deserves a break after being part of back-to-back blockbusters – Housefull 2 and Bol Bachchan.

But are you wondering whether or not she was in the movie? Remember she played one of the pretty young ladies in both the male-centric comedy capers?

Anyway, Asin and a bunch of her non-filmi close friends and cousins are wandering around in the crowded bylanes and sunning their hot-bods on the pristine beaches of Thailand. We don’t know if our star is splurging her hard earned moolah on inexpensive clothes, handbags and shoes in the shopper’s paradise or exploring the touristy sites of the South East Asian country. For all you know, Asin may be getting a rejuvenating and relaxing massage to recover from all the hard work she puts in to her movies!

For now, we can only let our imagination run amok, but one thing’s certain: the Bol Bachchan babe likes to have fun, on and off screen.

When Asin wasn’t spotted with the three musketeers of Bol Bachchan – Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan and Prachi Desai – at the mass entertainer’s special screening, it led to a lot of whispered talk. One of the most heard bits of gossip was that the South star skipped the screening because the trailer of Barfi was going to be showcased during the interval. Are you wondering what Asin has to do with Anurag Basu’s movie starring Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra-Ileana D’Cruz?

Apparently the filmmaker first offered the role to the dusky babe, but she turned it down. Maybe after watching her short and snappy role in BB, Asin regretted giving preference to Rohit Shetty’s entertainer over Basu’s Barfi.

The official reason for her not attending the screening as given by the BB starlet’s spokesperson was: “She had developed high fever so couldn’t attend the event.”

That may or may not be true, but we are sure we’ll never find the whole truth about why Asin missed her film’s premiere!
